RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Thanks for the comments, mark that's fine I wouldn't put stuff on the web if I didn't want it appearing elsewhere. I'm happy for you to use the images.

Ill see if I can fix the cropping on the photos

Just an update, almost two years since mark shaped me one of my all time favourite boards "the dumpling" I recently had the pleasure of surfing it in the maldives. Lohis was a very fast wave, many guys struggling with the initial down the line speed needed to make the wave. In the waist to head high...

Cheers guys, thanks for the photo tips. It was over in sw WA, lots of awesome setups there, it's hard not to score good waves.

the photo display on these forums is doing weird things with the shots I am uploading, cropping and changing sizes. anyone know why?

plenty of speed on a smaller one

having trouble loading other pics will do it when I can.

Great reading on the fin setups there. Here are a couple of shots of the dumpling in surf bigger and steeper than it was made for, but the fins I previously mentioned really extend the range the board can be surfed over.

Oh and a quick newbie q, do the forums have a pm function, where is it? Mark I got yours before I disappeared in sw Aus and never replied. I was about to but now can't find it.

Very interesting seeing the different fins going into the dumplings. I had a chance to trial some Simon Anderson large s-25 fcs fins in some pretty awesome surf. It was a super fast down the line wave and they held in brilliantly and didn't lose control of the speed the dumpling offers. I bought a s...

Cheers mark, will do. Turns out there are waves everywhere around here though, so has plenty to keep me busy:)

Cuttly, you have a lot to look forward to. Bit of a review on my new dumpling! Received a couple of weeks ago now and when it arrived I had never seen such a beautifully glossy piece of board, I went with some tints I saw on a board that I loved and credit to marks glasser it came out spectacularly....

looks incredible, I need a replacement gun as my 7'6 died last year and hasn't been replaced. Where is this auction?

Does it need to be a double blinded randomized controlled trial, or will a simple case series suffice? I'm about to get a colored, well multi colored board myself. Ill throw up some anecdotal evidence after testing!
